Hello There,

 

You say you are a computer graduate.

 

But then how come you developed an interest in the field of nutritionist?

 

Anyways at this juncture, you cannot pursue a masters degree in Nutrition or food science or Homescience.

 

2 options, you have here is, that based on your 12th score, you start again the 1st year in food science and nutrition.

 

Or pursue a diploma in clinical nutrition from ITI.

There are private Institutes like VLCC, that provides short term courses, but they are valid only at their centres. You cannot practice as a nutritionist elsewhere. Hence this course is also not recommended.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Wish you good luck...

Hi.. The eligibility to pursue Masters in Nutrition and Dietetics, Food Technology, Biotechnology, Forensic Science etc are to complete graduation with 50% marks in science degrees like Biology or other Bio-science,, Medical and non-medical sciences, allied Medical Sciences etc. So you may get admission in these courses if you have studies any bio subjects during your graduation degree

. Kindly visit the websites of the institutes like Banaras Hindu university, JMI, Jamia Hamdard, Lovely Professional University, Galgotias University etc to find more information regarding these courses. Best Wishes.
